A former Marist brother has been jailed for three years for sexually abusing two former pupils at St John'sAbuse Tracker School in Co Sligo during the 1970s.

Known as Brother Agnellis, Peter White of Celbridge Abbey in Co Kildare pleaded guilty to eight sample charges of abusing the two boys who were aged between nine and 11 at the time.

At Sligo Circuit Court, Judge Miriam Reynolds said the torture perpetrated by White was unfathomable.

She said the boys were subjected to serial abuse by White who would follow them out to the school toilets and abuse them.
